I think this is like cricket farming right now. A lot of hype around it being a new alternative with some environmental benefits, but the costs to get the infrastructure are so high that the meat/milk/wool/etc is too expensive for the average consumer to even consider, and why would they? If you are living paycheck to paycheck, why would you spend $12 a pound on cricket flour when you could just buy chicken? Who cares if it might be more environmentally friendly when you're just trying to survive until your next paycheck?

You're really getting scammed if someone convinced you there's a market for cricket wool.
